BOOSTER
DESCRIPTION
Boosters are high-density explosives specially designed to produce high velocity and detonation pressure, ideal for initiating explosive charges that are insensitive or not very sensitive. Specially designed to optimize the initiation of bulk products.
Terms and Conditions
Our boosters are sensitive to detonators with a basic charge of 0.6 g PETN, or detonating cord of 10 g/m PETN. NEVER USE in potentially explosive environments with coal dust and/or explosive gas (methane) present.
